  Finder Restart Emergency

  Posted by Cccitylights on June 22, 2007 at 7:54 am

  Hey everybody, first post but long-time lurker…

  Got a major problem. I’ve been trying to encode my movie I just completed with the Avid Meridien codec from Final Cut Pro, but was getting tons of errors. I downloaded and replaced the codec I had with the codec from Avid’s website, and then restarted the computer. The problem is, every time I restart, the Finder pops up for half a second and restarts itself. Every time.

  I tried booting in safe mode, but it just took me to the console, which I have no clue how to use. If anyone could help, it would be a HUGE help. I need to get this movie out so that I can transfer to Digibeta, but now it looks like OSX won’t even let me log on long enough to do anything.

  HELP!!

  Thanks,
  Michael

  Apologies…

  I’m running:

  G4
  1.25 Dual
  2 GB Memory
  OSX 10.4.9

  I have NOT done any system updates. The only thing I’ve done is added the Avid Codecs I downloaded from Avid’s site to the Library/Quicktime folder.
